Kinew celebrates Democrat wins in U.S. midterms

Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez secured her third victory, winning a U.S. House seat in Washington's 3rd Congressional District by defeating Republican John Braun. The seat traditionally holds a right-leaning perspective. Gluesenkamp Perez, who owns an auto repair shop, has expressed concerns that Democrats are drifting away from working-class voters and has occasionally faced criticism from the left for defying party leaders.

Braun, who also serves as minority leader in the state Senate, owns a business that manufactures ambulances and other emergency response vehicles. The Associated Press officially declared Gluesenkamp Perez the winner at 1:04 p.m. EST.
